An Act authorizing the town of Swansea to grant additional alcoholic beverage licenses

This bill allows the town of Swansea to issue up to six new licenses for bars and restaurants that serve alcohol on the premises. These new licenses are restricted to specific establishments located within the Swansea Mall Redevelopment Area and cannot be transferred to another owner for five years. To receive a license, applicants must prove they are in good standing with tax and unemployment agencies, and the town retains the power to limit these licenses to existing bar owners.
